The news of Jamie’s inhuman treatment to Selena and her kid had circulated all over the country, as hate comments began to spread about him and Cookie, mostly towards Cookie who people saw as the homewrecker that was trying to separate Jamie from his family and steal his affection from his daughter. It was so terrible that she had to stop going to work. Even her boss had to call her in for questioning and he’d almost fired her, if not that she was a qualified and reliable employee and he couldn’t afford to lose her. Therefore, he’d given her a leave pending when the issue would be cleared.Seeing as it was affecting Cookie, Jamie decided to stay home with her just to make her feel better. It was the weekend and he was in his home office, on the phone with his manager, Aiden as they discussed different ways of handling the situation. After Cookie’s suggestion, he decided to take her advice.Cookie, who had also been on a call with Amelia, walked into the room, dressed in just one of Ja
In the days that followed after Sylvia’s visit, Jamie heed to her advice and just as he’d discussed with Aiden, he released a public speech, revealing his past with Selena. Even his cousin, Chase and his younger brother, Robert, came out to support his words.Selena was dumbfounded and infuriated as she sat in her living room that evening listening to the news with the headline:“Billionaire CEO, Jamie Henderson, finally reveals the truth about his supposed family.”She hadn’t expected this turn of events. Just a few hours ago, everything was working in her favor and even people were urging her to sue him for child support and make sure to get half of his fortune. She was elated by the massive support she’d gotten from the general public that she was considering heeding to thier words to make sure she got half of Jamie’s fortune. She didn’t think he’d take the issue up and publicly release a statement. She’d always known him to love hiding in the shadows and she expected him to pay he
The next day, Cookie and Jamie decided to pay Sylvia a visit at her place of work and to take her out for lunch just to thank her for her help. Along with Julia, they arrived at DCL and were directed to Sylvia’s office after her secretary informed her of their presence.They got in to see her seated behind her desk, relaxed against the plush leather seat with a wide satisfactory smile on her face. As soon as she saw them, she rose to her feet and beckoned Julia to go to her. The kid, who had always been familiar with Sylvia ran to her with a wide smile on her face and Sylvia hugged her dearly.She’d always loved the child even when she’d thought she was Ryan’s daughter. But now, knowing that the girl was her granddaughter filled her with happiness and warmth.“How are you sweetie?” she asked Julia, kissing her cheek and playfully ruffling her hair.“I’m fine, aunt Sylvia,” Julia responded happily, grinning from ear to ear.Sylvia’s heart skipped for a moment as she looked between Cook
The days passed by quickly after Jamie won the court case against Selena, and the day he was to walk down the aisle with the woman of his dreams finally came. They’d taken time off work to speed up the preparations because he couldn’t wait for her to finally become his for life.He’d dreamt of this day from the moment he realized he was in love with her and it was finally coming to pass. All of their friends and family were around to witness them tie the knot. It was a very private wedding of just friends and family as they both concluded that they’d had enough of their lives being thrown to the public.Jamie paced his bedroom, with a smile on his face, his heart racing in anticipation. Cookie was dressing up in one of the guest rooms, with her friends and her mom. Even Sylvia was there. All he wanted was to sneak in and see her, to hug her and kiss her before they’d be legally joined together. But he’s heard people say it wasn’t right for the groom to see the bride before the wedding
After the whole wedding fiasco and after Selena was served her well-deserved judgement, Jamie and Cookie proceeded to their honeymoon, leaving Julia in the care of her mom, Gretchen. They were taking his private jet and he wouldn’t tell her their destination, even after the aircraft took off from Texas.“Please…” she pleaded, making soft puppy eyes at him but he chuckled, stealing a kiss from her pouty lips. “You can’t make me tell you, baby. It’s a surprise,” he winked at her before settling into his seat, while still caressing her arm that was resting on the armrest. She huffed at his response, rolling her eyes.“You’re simply impossible,”He grinned boyishly.“And you love me,”His response had her cheeks heating up and a smile threatening to slip into her face but she struggled to hold it back, although she couldn’t deny the truth that she was hopelessly in love with this man, her husband. She was still staring at him when she felt the sudden urge to throw up. At first, she thoug
The cold water from the shower nozzles cascaded over them, as Jamie took his time to wash every inch of Cookie’s body. His skilled fingers rubbed her torso, down to her thighs, slipping between her legs to clean her up and she let out a little whimper, her body sagging against his, with her eyes closed. He chuckled and lightly kissed her neck.“I wish I could stay here forever,” she murmured, releasing a deep breath.Jamie chuckled again, loving how she was melting against him.“You had that luxury for a month but you chose to spend more than half of the time in bed, with me,”“And whose fault was it?” she snapped back but again, he laughed.“Not mine, but I made sure you had a good time, didn’t you?” he latched onto her neck, drinking in the droplets of water from the shower and taking his time to suck hard on her soft spot until a hickey was beginning to form.She released a deep moan, feeling like putty in his arms as he toyed with her body.“You know we’re running late right?” she
It was almost an hour later before Cookie could drive back to the house. To her surprise, Jamie’s car was in the garage. She drew in a shaky breath and stared at her puffy eyes through the rearview mirror. Her heart was palpitating and she wasn’t sure she was ready to face him, confront him, and get the truth out of him. What if he confesses that he truly married her out of pity? Considering he already has a child, what if he says he can’t be with her anymore since he has Julia and may not even need to be married? Although she trusted the man, she still couldn’t help worrying and coming up with different self-damaging thoughts. She sat outside for a few minutes before her phone rang and it was Jamie calling. She thought of answering the call but she let it go to voicemail as she finally gathered the nerves to get out of the car and head into the house. She got in to see him in the living room, still dressed in his custom-tailored suit, pacing with his phone in his ear but as soon as
It was the weekend and Jamie was seated in his car in the parking lot of the restaurant Sylvia had chosen for their meeting. He’d thought it would be at her home or even his home but surprisingly, she sent the address of a restaurant in Texas to him. He thought it was meant to be a private meeting to avoid drawing attention to themselves as her husband and daughter may not take the news well, but then, he didn’t object to her decision. He gave his word that he’d show up and he did. He was in his car for another ten minutes before he got the call from Sylvia that she’d arrived.Drawing in a deep breath, he alighted from his car in time to see her heading into the building. He caught up with her and they exchanged pleasantries before walking into the room, where she’d already made reservations at a private booth in a corner that could grant them the privacy she wanted.At first, Jamie was a bit confused that her husband and daughter were nowhere to be found and he mentioned it as soon a

It's been a month after the incident and everyone is slowly getting used to the reality of it. Williams was still finding it hard to move on and sadly, Rose hasn't returned home since that night.As for Jamie and Cookie, they decided to take some time off from everyone and from all the life drama they’ve experienced. Together with Julia, they went on a vacation.Cookie has gradually accepted the reality that she will never birth a child of her own and she’s discussed it with Jamie on multiple occasions. They weren’t ready to adopt but they wanted to be happy. They were fine with just Julia and they couldn't have asked for more.Sitting on the beach blanket, she watched with a huge smile on her face as Jamie and Julia played in the water, splashing water on each other and laughing hysterically. Though she was surrounded by others, she couldn’t see past her husband and daughter. They were all she needed to be truly happy and she was glad she had them.Jamie caught her eyes and winked at
It’s been two weeks since Sylvia's accident. Immediately Williams divulged the news of the accident, together with Ryan, they drove down to the scene, just about ten minutes out of state to see she’d been escaping from her calamities. She was rushed to the hospital for immediate treatment and she underwent surgery. At the accident scene, her luggage was found coupled with the original documents she’d gotten Clifford to sign that she was meant to pass on to Jamie to finally start off her takeover plan.After the surgery, her legs were badly injured so she had to rely on a wheelchair and the doctor said she may be paralyzed forever. Due to this, the family had pity on her and didn’t involve the police but they made sure to destroy whatever documents she had in her possession. They fired her from the company too and she was left in a nursing home as she couldn’t care for herself and Williams wasn’t yet over the shock of the terrible secrets she’s been hiding. He couldn't be tasked with
According to Jamie’s plan, they all assembled at Ryan’s family home in New York the next day, to reveal Sylvia’s decades-old secret. Before then, he called Sylvia the previous night after his meeting with Ryan, to set up a meeting with her in Texas, just to keep her away from New York during the meeting, as a means of evading her. During his call, he assured her he was ready to take on the task and he made her believe he was still annoyed at how Ryan had treated him in the past. It was believable enough to Sylvia and she praised him for finally manning up to do the right thing.Disregarding that they were still on call, she went about spewing her hate for the Davidson’s and how she’d gotten Clifford to sign the documents that would give up his properties and business empire to Jamie, all in the name of partnering with him. She even shared a soft copy of the document to him after the call and asked him to sign it through electronic means but Jamie refused. He stated that they’d need a
The next day, as planned, Ryan flew to Texas to meet with Jamie in a private location. Jamie had tried retelling Sylvia’s evil plans to him on the phone but he couldn’t get himself to convince the man that Sylvia isn't who they all thought she was. Ryan wanted to confirm for himself, so they set up the meeting.It was held in one of the branches of Ryan’s companies in Texas, to avoid suspicions and to make it look like a business meeting if the news ever gets out. Jamie didn’t put it past Sylvia to secretly keep a watch on him just to monitor his next moves.As soon as they settled into the conference room, he handed the copy of the document that Sylvia had given to him to Ryan as a piece of evidence.“There’s the document your family has been searching for, for the past two years,” he stated, settling into his seat and allowing Ryan to flip through the pages as the realization began to dawn on him. A frown marred his face, the more he read through the pages of the contract.“You’re t
That night, Jamie sat in his home office, still pondering on everything Sylvia had confided in him. He couldn’t believe she was the same woman that had committed such evil acts. The same woman that came off as a saint to guilt trip him into forgiving her and accepting her as his biological mother. But it turned out she only needed him to finalize her revenge plans.It hurt him deeply to realize the truth that Sylvia was only using him. She only came back because she needed him as the final piece to achieve her aim. These thoughts swarmed his head as he sat in the plush leather seat, staring at the document she’d handed to him. He didn’t know what was inside except it contained ten percent of the Davidson's assets that she’d somehow acquired, as she’d informed him earlier that day.Slowly, he pulled it closer and flipped it open to see it was a draft business contract that had been signed. Slowly, his gaze traveled through the page as he read the document. It stated that Benjamin David
